Hi Guys!!! I made it back from my cruise!
Well, as expected staying OP on a 9 day cruise is pretty much an impossibility! Even though I ate a fraction of what I would normally have done and probably had no more than 10 drinks the entire trip, I was pretty worried when I stepped on the scale for a naked WI tonight! I was pleasantly surprised though, it looks like I only gained a couple of pounds (if that). I think it was mainly due to a bout of food poisoning on day 6/7 that most certainly did a complete "flush" of the system!! I have my official WI on Wednesday and that will really tell the tale.
I am glad to be back and ready to jump right back into P1 with renewed vigour!
I'm really looking forward to summer now. 34lbs gone certainly helps with the old confidence. Where I would have sat around with my shirt on by the pool, the new Tony was swimming, playing pool volleyball and having a great time!
Although it was only 9 days I really missed the whole "ritual" of my IP diet. I missed the constant updating of "myfitnesspal.com" and my daily checking of 3FC and seeing how all you guys are making out! One thing that I found was although I had instant access to every yummy thing out there, I certainly didn't crave any of it and I actually felt rather nauseous if I ate more than a little bit.
I skimmed through the last week and I can't believe all the newbies!!! It is great that the "Man's Club" is growing while everyone's bellies are shrinking! Keep up the great work everyone!!
